BELL RINGER: FCAT Practice: SC.8.N.1.1 The Nature of Science
Answer and justify.
Kyra is studying the different factors that can affect the growth of a
plant. Based on her research, she thinks that the amount of water, the exposure
to sunlight and the type of fertilizer may contribute to the growth of the
plant.
What should Kyra do to test the effect of sunlight and get accurate
result in her experiment?
A. Change the amount of water and keep the type of fertilizer and the
amount of sunlight the same.
B. Change the type of fertilizer and the amount of water at the same time
and keep the amount of sunlight the same.
C. Change the amount of sunlight by placing the plants in different
locations and keep the amount of water and the type of fertilizer the same.
D. Change the type of fertilizer, the amount of water, and the amount of
sunlight at the same time.
VOCABULARY: matter, chemistry, substance, element, atom, Atomic mass, periodic table, nucleus, proton, atomic number, neutron, electron, mass number
HOME LEARNING: HL 2 Atomic Short Story
Write a short story using the following words correctly in context: element, atom, atomic mass, periodic table, nucleus, proton, atomic number, neutron, electron, mass number. Your story must be fictional and NOT be about a known element. You can set your story anywhere you wish and include any events that you wish. The only thing that MUST be true is the rules about protons, neutrons, and electrons, and atomic mass and atomic number! Your story may be hand written, but it MUST be in blue or black ink only , on ONE side of the paper. You must have a minimum of 200 words!
AGENDA
WHOLE GROUP
Studnents completed the bell ringer above.
We then reviewed HL 1 and explained HL 2, which is to write a short story on the atomic structure. See the rubrics above.
Students then updated their notebooks.
Students worked on completing the Gizmo on Phase Changes.
